ATHENS Cheap Adidas NMD R2 PK PrimeKnit Black Red , Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- Canadian gold mining company Eldorado Gold announced Thursday that it would temporarily postpone its plan to suspend work on its Greek gold mines, while awaiting the results of the dialogue with the Greek state regarding a dispute over operating licenses.

Hellas Gold, Eldorado's subsidiary, will continue operating its gold mines in Halkidiki peninsula in northern Greece, Greek national news agency AMNA reported.

The Canadian company withdrew the warning it had made earlier this September that it would cease all activities from Sept. 22 Cheap Men's Adidas Originals NMD R2 PK W PrimeKnit Grey Pink , citing long delays in getting the necessary operating licenses.

"We are very pleased with the constructive dialogue that is underway with the ministry of energy and environment. Last week, the ministry issued a number of long overdue routine permits for our Olympias project," said George Burns, president and chief executive officer of Eldorado, according to a company press release.

Eldorado's announcement came as about 1 Cheap Mastermind X Adidas NMD C2 Suede" Pack Red ,000 workers marched in central Athens to protest against the delays in the licensing process which put jobs at stake.

In addition to the issuance of some licenses, last week, the arbitration process began between the Greek state and the company regarding the still-pending permits for a facility at Skouries, one of the project's sites.

The government referred to the State Council, Greece's supreme administrative court Cheap Mastermind X Adidas NMD C2 Suede Pack Grey , to resolve the issue, explaining that the process was foreseen by the concession agreement.

In a statement issued a few days ago, Greek environment and energy minister Giorgos Stathakis argued that the licenses the gold mining investors requested had not been granted because contractual obligations had not been met.

The Greek official cited concern over the "environmental and ecological footprint that would affect the health of residents and the economic activities of the wider region".

The arbitration process between the Greek state and the company is expected to last up to six months, according to ministry sources.

BANJUL Cheap Adidas NMD R1 STLT Trace Olive Black , May 9 (Xinhua) -- Persons who lack legal identity, including a nationality, are more vulnerable to radicalization, said an official of the UN refugee agency on Tuesday.

Volker Turk, the Assistant High Commissioner for Protection at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Cheap Women's Adidas NMD R1 W PK Pink Black , said this as he addressed ministers from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Banjul.

"I want to underscore that the right to a legal identity is also a matter of state security, particular at a time such as this when the ECOWAS member states have legitimate concerns about the protection of their citizens in the face of growing threats," he said.

"Persons who lack legal identity, including a nationality, are more vulnerable to radicalization Cheap Adidas NMD R1 x Thrasher PK Black Red , exploitation and abuse including recruitment by armed groups due to their marginalization from society. Such persons are also more difficult to identify," added Turk.

He noted the situations of statelessness that remain unaddressed may contribute to inter-communal tensions or lead to forced displacement.

The ministerial meeting seeks to put an end to the scourge of statelessness, which affects more than 10 million people worldwide, including over 1 million in West Africa.

"This is a clear signal underlying the Gambia's renewed commitment to the protection and promotion of human rights, including both its commitment to the protection to eradicate statelessness and its recognition of the fundamental importance of this cause as a regional and continental priority Cheap Adidas NMD R1 Mesh White ," he said.

According to him, statelessness impedes access to the most fundamental rights and services and prevents people from participating fully in society.

"Denying someone their right to a nationality creates suffering, exclusion and marginalization. Ensuring that all persons have a nationality helps build social cohesion and integration and enables societies to capitalize on the capacities and talents of all its members," he precised.

The regional ministerial meeting on statelessness in West Africa is expected to validate an eight-year draft Plan of Action that seeks to end the statelessness by 2024.
